Apr 10 8:48a by Jeff Gluck Carl Edwards got a third-place finish at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday night – despite his mother's cooking – and moved back into the Sprint Cup Series points lead (Kyle Busch had been the previous points leader)."Third was about the best we could hope for," Edwards said afterward. "Coming out of here with the points lead and a teammate (Matt Kenseth) in Victory Lane is a good trip to Texas for us."Kenseth had the best trip of all. Not only did he win the Samsung Mobile 500, but his victory resulted in a six-spot jump in the point standings – all the way to third.Runnerup Clint Bowyer was the evening's other big gainer, as the Richard Childress Racing driver moved up four spots to 12th.The race wasn't so good for Mark Martin, who was caught up in a crash and dropped a series-high five spots to 15th. Other big losers included Kevin Harvick (ninth) and Martin Truex Jr. (21st), who fell four spots apiece.Here are the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings after the Texas Motor Speedway race:
